18 Challenges: Continuous operations rugged moorings, sensors Spatial coverage - scales calibration & QAQC Data management Buoys not functional in winter cabled observatories 100yr $ustainability - currently heavily subsidized by the academic community and federal laboratories (GLERL) - needs to transition to operational status yr day sec mm m km 1000 km

19 ... and while I have the podium BOGLS suggest we need a better acronym highlights fast changing ecosystem dynamics (NO 3,Si, Ca, evap, ice cover, temp, DM, fish, transparency, runoff, etc. defy our current models) less Great Lakes centric in sound & appearance (other examples) emphasizes urgency of research never let a good disaster go to waste... So at dinner last night... comes 1 suggestion to stimulate your thinking
